6th 5 (7) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins have been on AW but he's run well on turf this season including when runner-up at Carlisle (1m) in May and when third over this trip at Windsor (good to firm) last time; continues to edge down the weights and he's in the mix with cheekpieces added. |

3rd 4 (6) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has gained both wins on AW but that was the case with stablemate Cristo (declared 7:50) until he recently prevailed on turf; has posted inconsistent results since returned to this sphere, however, and isn't a solid option. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner on final start of last season and opened this campaign with a win at Chester (1m2f, good); essentially disappointing since then and will do well to bounce back from his wide draw. |
14/1 |
|
10th 8 (2) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Recorded narrow wins on his final start of last year at York (1m2f, good) and on his Chester reappearance (1m2f, good) in May, but held in last two starts including when behind King's Code back at Chester; half-brother to an AW winner, but he needs to bounce back. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Ended a three-year drought when winning a 1m2f handicap at Sandown (good to firm) this month; Listed winner (1m2f, soft) here earlier in his career and ran well over C&D last month; one to consider. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Two course wins over further; won a Goodwood handicap (1m1f, good to soft) in June off this mark; not so good since but a revival would be no surprise. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has competitive course form, including a respectable fourth over the extended 7f in June; this is more his trip but he needs to bounce back from two forgettable runs at 1m4f (here) and 9.4f (AW). |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who ran creditably on his handicap debut last month (7f, AW; first run for 384 days); stepping up in trip could unlock further progress and Oisin Murphy takes over for the first time. |
100/30 |
|
4th 8 (9) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Three runs in the first half of 2025 were encouraging; gelded prior to this seasonal/handicap debut; still has potential and the betting should be revealing after 384 days off; tongue-tie returns. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Acts on most ground; capitalised on a career-low mark with a comfortable success at Pontefract (1m, good to firm; first-time blinkers) last month; back up 5lb and he's yet to prove himself over this longer trip. |
12/1 |

1st 1 (4) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner at up to 8.5f on good or slower; on the slide in three starts this season but this combination of a drop in grade and new headgear may prompt a resurgence; return to shorter is also a plus; shortlisted. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Fair form in Ireland for Johnny Murtagh in 2025 and for his new handler in May; gelded since coming in a creditable last of three in 1m4f Beverley novice; can't be dismissed. |

His nursery win (sole success) was on soft so the recent rain is welcomed; downgraded from running in Ascot handicaps in his last two races. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
5-19 overall, with form on all sorts of surfaces (unraced here); in good heart until finishing nowhere in a Class 2 handicap at last month's York Ebor meeting; third at Goodwood 13 days ago was in a valuable seller but below her best form; 7lb out of handicap makes this tough in first-time headgear. |
33/1 |

3rd 7 (1) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 44y Class 3 |

Five-time winner with form on all sorts of surfaces; in good heart until finishing nowhere in a Class 2 handicap at last week's Ebor meeting and that's readily forgiven. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Made all in a big field at Chester (1m4f, good) in May and is just 1lb higher today but she hasn't come up to scratch subsequently and others arrive with more pressing claims. |
33/1 |
|
4th 1 (7) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Six visits here have yielded two wins and as many thirds; below her best over an extended 1m2f in last two races (also here) but she's back to Class 4 level in which she made all over C&D in May off only 2lb lower; considered, for all that an easy leads seems unlikely. |

10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won a 7f maiden here last year and added a 1m2f Salisbury handicap in May (good; off this mark); up and down in the meantime but hard to dismiss with Harry Vigors claiming his 5lb. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (8) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won Epsom maiden in nine-race juvenile campaign and she was back on the scoresheet when taking Salisbury handicap (1m2f, good) in May; hasn't matched that since and has stamina to prove on this second crack at 1m4f. |
